近年来，广州的留学生数量在逐年上升，目前已达上万人。记者了解到，不少留学生看中广州商品资源丰富，纷纷做起“代购生意”，服装、精品、电子产品甚至真人头发等都成了他们代购的“目标”，虽然做的是小生意，但收入很不错，有时甚至可以月入过万。俄罗斯留学生伊万
代购为赚生活费
广州某高校的俄罗斯留学生伊万，来自俄罗斯中部，从他来广州读研开始，就开始试着独立生活。“
父母也告诉我，自己已经成年，因此需要自己赚生活费。”伊万告诉记者他读的是汉语硕士，因成绩好拿到了奖学金，不用交学费，但是生活费必须自己赚取。伊万是2010年来华读书，一个朋友告诉他，中国的很多商品，例如服装、灯饰、精品等，在俄罗斯都很受欢迎，如果帮国内的一些商人代购货物，收入可以维持其生活。
伊万告诉记者，他多数是从网上找货源，但也常要到站西、一德路、石牌、大沙头这些批发市场，对于伊万而言，以上的批发市场他都已经很熟悉了。“其实代购找货的过程中，我已经把广州走遍了，大街小巷可能都有印象。”据了解，伊万负责将老板提供货品的图片或者链接，在广州找到货源，并将货品打包寄到边境，任务就算完成了，但有时也会应客户要求寄国际邮件。他告诉记者，干这一行，若与某个老板长期合作，一般有5%~20%的提成，若是短期合作，经常是一次性付清大概几百到上千元不等。据了解，若生意好，“每月收入有时候会有几千甚至过万元，但是有时候淡季，订单相对少，收入就会下降”。
伊万告诉记者，为了实现经济独立，他有时候每天工作十六七个小时，工作到半夜两三点也是常有的事。他表示，每月的花费都要几千元。记者问到做代购会不会影响到学习时，伊万说会有一些影响，但自己会抓紧一切时间看书学习，成绩在班级也算是上等生。“其实代购也是和各种中国人打交道，是一种了解中国文化尤其是广州文化的方式，但是现在想从其他途径多了解一些岭南文化，例如看展览、听讲座等”。
印尼留学生阿光
从代购中找到职业方向
目前在天河区某高校就读的印尼留学生阿光，从事代购有两年，阿光告诉记者，做代购效益还是不错的。他表示，印尼那边很喜欢中国的小饰品，例如手机挂件、手镯、头饰等。“本地很少有这样的工厂，这些小商品在印尼很受欢迎。”阿光告诉记者，在这边购买的普通手机挂链价格是5元/个，在印尼当地的售价可能达到30元。他帮助印尼客户找货，一般能拿到3%~20%的提成。阿光称自己最初是负责找货、寄货到指定的地方，同时也会帮助自己在国内的好友购买一些东西，如服装、包包等。“广州的服装、包包、鞋子以及各类精品，在印尼还是蛮受欢迎的”。
现在阿光马上就要毕业了，他也考虑今后做外贸方面的工作，因为对找货以及货品的销路已经很了解了。据介绍，一般的小物品，他会通过EMS寄到印尼，但费用不低，快递费要几百元。“EMS是最安全的，一般衣服、饰品也不重，运费也不会过千元”。
西非留学生西罗
真人头发都可帮忙代购
对于来广州学习了一年多的西罗来说，中国物产丰富，广州又集中了许多大型市场，采购方便，是从事代购生意的好地方。据西罗介绍，身边不少跟他一样来自非洲国家的同学都在做代购，这对于他们来说已经不仅是赚取零花钱的渠道，还是一种潮流。西罗说，在广园西路能买到款式多样的皮包、衣服，想买便宜的二手手机就要到大沙头，在小北还能找到真人头发。留学生们的课程密度相对宽松，大多数时候每天只安排半天的课程，而剩下的课余时间也就是他们的“工作时间”了。
西罗告诉记者，他们现在用于做代购生意的本钱要么是父母给的生活费，要么是自己平时打工攒下的钱，他们为了确保本钱不被积压，只能在有顾客提出需求时他们才去采购。而且，这种代购方式一般都不保证几天内到货，由于帮代购的顾客大多是自己的亲戚或者朋友，加上从广州邮寄到他们国家的运费都很贵，他们一般会等一两个月凑上几件商品后才一起发货，到了他们国家再找熟人帮忙与顾客对接。
代购请注意
海关会抽检
若需交税会联系收件人
记者采访中了解到，不少高校有明文规定，在校留学生不得从事经营活动，但却没有严厉执行。。
另外，当前不少中国在外留学生从事淘宝代购生意，由于偷税漏税被划入走私范畴。记者采访不少留学生则对在中国“代购”是否合法并不了解。记者咨询海关了解到，当前对超额携带或邮寄物品出境是否属于走私，并无明确规定，一般会根据“合理、自用”的原则衡量是否需要征收出口税。
记者咨询中国邮政EMS客服了解到，他们只负责投递，是否需要报关或者交税是由海关负责，一般寄到国外的货品超过1000元就需要申报海关，“在海关抽检环节检查出金额较多时，寄件人就需通过中国邮政报关处申请报关，速递在派件的时候会向收件人收取关税等”。
广东大同律师事务所主任朱永平认为，当前越来越多外国人将目光投向中国，以“蚂蚁搬家”的形式将中国境内商品运到自己国家，这种情况下，如果数额较大则会对中国税收造成损失。但广东广信律师事务所律师欧阳晓军则表示，当前广州留学生代购的商品金额有限，在不超额携带或邮寄、不触及相关法律的情况下，这种方式在一定程度上反而对广州贸易起到积极的作用。
